If you have all the proper documentation for the K3 (I am assuming that's what you'll be filing) you can send it from abroad, but remember you'll need a US address for the process.

hello Kishy,

you have both options .. you can file CR1 directly from Cairo OR you can file for K3 from the states .

one positive thing about filing in Cairo .. the pettition gets approved the same day , well most likely

I thought that Americans were no longer able to marry in Egypt

What is a CR1?

KishyAmed,

You've started a timeline for a K1 visa, which visa requires that you marry in the USA.

You'll need to describe your plans more fully, because what you've revealed thus far is inconsistent.

KishyAmed,

If you file for a K1 visa (fiancée) you cannot marry in Egypt, the marriage needs to take place in the USA. If you do get married in Egypt, then you will have to come back and file for either a K3 visa (spouse) or a CR1 which is also for spouse but a bit slower than the K3.

Please read the guidelines so you can make more informed comments and questions. They're very easy to follow and they should answer most questions you may have.
